<p>pisco comes from peru. the peruvian customs form tells you so. pisco made outside peru is forbidden!</p>
<p>personally, i&#39;d recommend anything made by biondi, followed by ocucaje. if a pisco sour is what you want, choose the acholado. <br />

I keep a big bottle of Masson for workhorse (and party) (and cooking) purposes, just as I do Maker&#39;s Mark. But some cocktails (and smaller quantities of them) really do call for a finer brandy or cognac. Start with the cocktail you have in mind and buy the brandy that seems right for it. </p>
<p>Which reminds me, I do need to buy some more cognac....</p>MrBaliHai commented on 'A Question'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345190b469e200e550751c9688342008-01-05T14:25:26Z2008-02-22T00:40:42ZMrBaliHaihttp://www.mrbalihai.com/goofAlso, if you're looking for a very unique brandy-drinking experience, pick up a bottle of Chilean Pisco grape brandy in...<p>Also, if you&#39;re looking for a very unique brandy-drinking experience, pick up a bottle of Chilean Pisco grape brandy in the Easter Island statue decanter.</p>

<p>You definitely don&#39;t want to waste a good Cognac in a mixed drink. I use Christian Bros. VSOP for standard cocktails, and Marie Brizard Blackberry Brandy in tropical libations. I have no complaints.</p>
